Review SML 2008 – Radar Detector Shoot Out
Yesterday morning SML crew headed eighty miles east from their testing site to do the long range radar detector test. A couple of the radar detector representatives lined up their detectors and received alerts on all three bands from radar guns being fired toward their direction over ten miles away. The remaining participants had to endure the hot Texas sun and blowing sand until they completed the testing several hours later.
Hats off to Carl Fors and crew for all their hard work and dedication and having another successful “Radar Detector Shoot-Out”.
I also complement Mem-Tek, a dedicated member of the RadarDetector.net forum, for volunteering his time and talents in assisting me and a few other participants in setting up and assisting in the testing.
The full results of this year’s SML tests will be posted on our website(s) once Carl publishes them for public viewing.
Over the course of the next several weeks, I will be publishing various videos of the event.

Best radar detector overall.
3 units exist as the top radar detector in reviews. In addition to the Escort Passport 8500 X50, the Bel Pro RX65 and Valentine One also receive the highest scores in reviews. But the Valentine One costs $100 more. The Escort radar detector sniffs out X, K and Ka-band radar guns from at least two miles away, and is especially good at tracking Ka-band guns in dangerous POP mode. Although the Valentine One is better at detecting laser guns, reviews say this aspect is of dubious value, since by the time the alarm sounds, iits already too late to avoid a ticket.
